NON-RESIDENT TAX SERVICE
The yearly Spanish tax that catches Dénia owners out, even in the years the property just sits there empty. We work out what you owe, file it with the AEAT, and keep you clear of penalties, in plain English.
From €70 + VAT for the annual imputed-income filing, plus €50 for each additional co-owner. Confirmed in writing before we start.
Legal position last reviewed: July 2026
Modelo 210 is the annual non-resident income tax return (IRNR) filed with the AEAT by non-resident owners of Spanish property. It applies even when the property is empty, through an imputed income, and it is separate from the local IBI you pay to the Ayuntamiento de Dénia. We prepare and file it each year.
Plenty of sites explain the 210 and then leave you to it. We prepare it and submit it to the AEAT for you, so it is genuinely done, not just understood.
The 19 or 24 percent, the imputed-income base for your exact property, and only the deductions you are really allowed. Getting that number right is the whole job.
Late or wrong, and the AEAT quietly adds surcharges and interest until a letter arrives. On time and correct keeps that letter out of your postbox.
Tax detail is handled by Daniel Bertomeu, Tax and Legal Advisor (AEDAF, APAFCV), and your file is reviewed under Juan Bertomeu, abogado colegiado ejerciente, ICALI #4643.
If you own in Dénia, Las Marinas, Les Rotes, La Xara or Jesús Pobre and you do not live in Spain, you have a Modelo 210 to file, whether you rent the place out or never touch it. British owners sit outside the EU since Brexit; German, Dutch, Belgian and Scandinavian owners sit inside it, which changes the rate. And the single most common thing we fix for new owners here: no, paying your IBI does not cover it.
We calculate and file the imputed income that applies when you use the property yourself or leave it empty.
We prepare and file the tax on the rent you receive if you let the property.
We apply 19% for EU/EEA owners and 24% for non-EU owners, including the UK after Brexit.
We apply the deductions permitted against rental income for EU/EEA owners.
We file with the AEAT and arrange payment, including from a foreign account where needed.
These are orientative components, not a fixed quote. Your final figure depends on the property, its valor catastral and whether you let it.

Petra, a Dutch owner of an apartment in Las Marinas, had paid her IBI every year but had never filed a Modelo 210, and was worried about a future sale.
First review
We checked that the valor catastral had been revised within the last 10 years, so the 1.1% imputed-income rate applied.
Outstanding years
We prepared the outstanding, non-time-barred years at the 19% EU/EEA rate.
Voluntary filing
We filed voluntarily, before any AEAT notice, which limited the surcharges under art. 27 LGT.
Going forward
We set up her annual filing so future years are handled on time.
Brought up to date, and protected against a blocked sale.
Illustrative example based on real cases. Names changed. Figures vary by property.
Assuming IBI covers everything
What goes wrong: IBI is a local tax and does not replace the national Modelo 210.
How we prevent it: We file the Modelo 210 you owe, in addition to your IBI.
Using the wrong rate after Brexit
What goes wrong: UK owners applying 19% instead of 24% underpay and can face a correction.
How we prevent it: We apply 24% for non-EU owners, including the UK.
Using the wrong imputed-income percentage
What goes wrong: Applying 2% instead of 1.1% (or vice versa) gives the wrong tax.
How we prevent it: We check whether the valor catastral was revised within the last 10 years.
Filing one return for co-owners
What goes wrong: A single joint return is incorrect and can be rejected.
How we prevent it: We file a separate return for each owner of each property.
Missing the year-end deadline
What goes wrong: Filing late triggers surcharges and interest under art. 27 LGT.
How we prevent it: We file inside the official window — for 2026 income onwards it runs from 1 April to 31 December of the following year.
Many owners think that paying IBI to the Ayuntamiento de Dénia meets their Spanish tax obligations. It does not. IBI is a local tax, while Modelo 210 is a national tax filed with the AEAT, and the imputed income applies even when the property is empty. If your case is simple and you would rather file it yourself online, the same firm runs a self-service tool for exactly that. Prefer to file it yourself online? The same firm runs Easy210Spain
